What does the Bible say about Jesus being better than angels?
Answered in 3 sources
The Bible states that Jesus is better than angels because He is the Son of God and the Creator, not a created being.
The book of Hebrews emphasizes that Christ Jesus is exalted above the angels, as seen in Hebrews 1:5 where it asks, 'For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son?' This indicates that unlike angels, who are created beings, Jesus has a unique sonship and divine nature. Additionally, Hebrews 2:16 clarifies that Jesus did not take on the nature of angels but became fully man to achieve redemption, highlighting His superiority and unique role in salvation, which angels cannot fulfill.
